Twylar Long Sleeve Velvet Mini Dress - Brown

Velvet in a warm brown, cut short, with sleeves that take up room — the Twylar Long Sleeve Velvet Mini Dress knows precisely what it is for. The velvet is soft to the touch and holds its colour under low light, which is where this dress spends most of its time. Sleeves balloon out from the shoulder and gather back in at elasticised cuffs, so the volume stays where it was intended and the wrist stays free. The neckline sits high and clean, letting the sleeves lead the shape. At the back, an invisible zip with a hook and eye clasp closes everything without breaking the line. It is fully lined. Short hem, long sleeves: a combination that carries straight through the cold months. Wear it with opaque tights and a boot when it is genuinely cold, or bare legs and a strappy heel when the room is warm enough to forget the season.
